Thanks. So Each line is built with 16 days + 2 over ride days=18 days total. If the company sends you home on Day 16 then you have 14 days off. If you work all 18 days then you have 12 off? Is this correct ?

Also, I heard per the contract year three will just be one over ride day ?

There are also split lines with 9 on/6 off. Several on the 777 for August.

Congrats, and welcome! The hard part still lies ahead for you, but it will be worth the effort and dedication.

767 typically sees more varied flying. Not sure which fleet is busier, though.

Long Call can happen anywhere in the world, not just at home. Since coming to the line, I’ve not sat one day of long call or short call at home. I’ve worked 18 days per month, every month. Your experience may vary. For what it’s worth (not much), I’m on the 777.

Edit: Oh, and not commuting has been a wonderful experience. You will sincerely enjoy it; especially after commuting at a regional.

They’ve recently started to use a “window” system, and the window happens to be closed right now.

Don't worry if you search on here you can find info. Don't let the Omni hormongers scare you about asking questions. There are only two things classified with the program and the flight routes, airports, pay, schedule are not them.

I did 16 this month with both over ride days at home.

What’s Commuting? Enjoying preferred boarding and free upgrades.... nice not needing crashpads too.
